"You know... I’m pretty good at chemistry."

Luke Cavanaugh has everything—a starting spot on the basketball team, legendary abs, and the kind of charm that gets him out of almost anything. Except failing his stats class. One flunked midterm and suddenly he’s benched until he proves he can count something other than girls’ phone numbers.

Enter his tutor: quiet, book-smart, and so not his type... until she is.

She's soft, she's sweet, she's warm, and everything that he never knew he wanted. Everything he never knew he needed.

He’s got no idea how to stop flirting long enough to learn regression analysis. But when forced proximity meets undeniable tension, sparks start flying—and not the academic kind.

He’s supposed to be studying. She’s supposed to be helping. Neither of them expected their biggest distraction would be each other.

The Redwood Basketball Boys

They’re undefeated in the conference. Untouchable on social media. And unbearable in real life.

Led by campus heartthrob Luke Cavanaugh, the Redwood Hawks have a starting lineup made entirely of bad decisions in sneakers. They win games, ruin lives, and never text back. Their group chat should be illegal. Their parties are.

Meet the chaos:

• Luke Cavanaugh – The golden boy with a killer jump shot and a secret girlfriend no one can ever find out about. Especially his teammates. Especially now.

• Noah McClaren – Smells like expensive cologne and red flags. Somehow flirts by breathing. Has never been in love but has definitely inspired three Spotify playlists titled “Heartbreak.”

• Joel Knightley – Would sell you a dream and ghost you before you woke up. Looks like a dream boy, lies like a con artist, and gets away with both.

• Zach West – Can read a room, break a heart, and ruin your weekend—all with one smirk. Has dimples that should come with a warning label and no conscience to speak of.

• Bryson Bailey – Loud. Shirtless. Loyal. Kind of like if a tailgate party came to life and learned how to dunk.

They're talented. They're toxic. They’re the most-watched team in the league for a reason.

Trigger Warnings: he's your typical frat boy at first, but holy shit guys it was so sweet and romantic I DIED
